11. SEARCHING FOR MISSING PERSONS
It is much more difficult to find a missing person than to find and excavate a hidden treasure. When searching for living organisms, we can use their souls as guidance and prepare the basic plan of work on that basis. Rarely, a person searched for has been missed for a long time. Today, in the age of developed telecommunications and the possibility to use the internet, one can obtain a lot of useful information about the character of the missing person and make certain conclusions. With quick transportation by air, the Earth became small. The towns came closer to each other, and it is no surprise if the person missed is found on another continent. One hundred or more years ago, it was difficult to get useful information about a missing person. Either they found the person quickly, or they never found him or her. In those times, travelling was dangerous, and the persons searched for could not simply be divided into alive or dead. This meant that in the old times talented therapists were able to locate the missing persons very quickly and accurately by using a good-quality measurement system.
The population on the Earth increases quickly. Only in the last century, it tripled. One society influences others everywhere around the world. The economy is global and the national economic results are poorly visible. International organisations appeared, secret societies were activated and shadow cabinets rule. Average people know little about this, and it is no wonder that there are many missing persons nowadays. In some countries in the West, there is a rule that a missing person is not immediately searched for. They wait for a certain period of time to see whether the person went away on his or her own, became a member of a society, sect or is found in another town, on another continent. They only declare a person missing if they are younger than eighteen; older persons are almost not searched for. Becoming a member of drug addicts, alcohol abusers, prostitutes and certain forms of fanaticism gives large opportunities to hide. Most information should be obtained from the family and friends. Special attention should be paid to the activities of the missing person – whether he or she did sports, was a member of a cultural association – to assess the likelihood of this person being alive or dead. For those who are not alive, it is necessary to examine and separate those who committed a suicide, went missing in an accident, disaster, or were murdered.
